If I touch a burning candle I can feel no painIn the ice or in the sun it's all the sameYet I feel my heart is achingThough it doesn't beat it's breakingAnd the pain here that I feelTry and tell me it's not real

(...)and the only thing I don't like about it is that there is no chat channels.... wtf

Hmm, are those channels really needed? I mean, we have various SC forums for discussion and looking for 2v2 partner, etc. We spend 95% of the time on battle.net on the game itself anyway...

When I play the zerg, I tend to surprise the enemy with a big baneling rush (20-24 banelings). Yes, I know that it's a bit late attack for a zerg, but it's very hard to repel even if he manages to see that I have baneling nest. Infrantry (even stalkers and marauders) and wall-in buildings go down in nanoseconds, then I still have plenty banelings for his workers .
After that I either send some zerglings to criple the enemy even more (if his army was completly destroyed) or get some mutalisks for further harrassment of his workers. If I manage prevent him from expanding, his lose is inevitable.

I wasn't lucky enough to get a Beta key, but from videos I've seen online it'll be an amazing game.
Any nerd (like me) that want's to get a head start on other players, but doesn't have a beta key, look up HDstarcraft or Huskystarcraft on Youtube. They cover some professional level games, you should be able to get a basic understanding on build orders and some nice tricks for when the game finally comes out.

I choose not to partake in Starcraft II. I'm just not a Starcraft fan. Maybe it's just that I'm more into fantasy than science fiction, but as far as RTSes go I'll stick to the War side of the -craft games. Or Age of Empires II.
